I edited the code to reflect the entire JavaScript section of the page. I tried this solution out but it didn't work. Your help is greatly appreciated!user3288629– user32886292014-04-23 00:20:48 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 0:20

take your click function out of your computetotaldistance function. There is no good reason to have it in there. You also aren't doing anything with your ajax result. See the success option of my ajax function.themerlinproject– themerlinproject2014-04-23 00:24:20 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 0:24

Thanks for your help. So I took the click function out, but should the $(document).ready(function() { encapsulate the entire javascript code or just the computetotaldistance function? Thanks again for your help!user3288629– user32886292014-04-23 00:27:00 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 0:27

$(document).ready() can encapsulate all your javascript, within script tags, but you should know what it does. It basically just waits until the document (DOM) has completely loaded until loading your js so for functions that manipulate the DOM it is necessarythemerlinproject– themerlinproject2014-04-23 00:28:42 +00:00Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 0:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
